No sooner had the Sheriff and posse left Pleasant Valley, it now seems, than the vendette there was renewed. They left on Thursday, and on Saturday John Tewksbury and Wm. Jacobs were ambushcd and killed by the Graham party.
 Letters were received here last evening, by various parties, telling of the tragedy, but little particu- lars were given. Sheriff Mulvel on thinks that Tewksbury had come home to see his wife who was ex- pected to become a mother at any day; that he was accompanied by Jacobs, and the other party, who were evidently on the lookout for them, had laid in wait. Jame :; Tewksbury was also near the ranch, and concealed himself amongst the rocks and fired number of shots at the enemy, but witt out effect
 A loy, elonging to, or in the employ of Tewksbury, was aso fired at, but was not hurt. During he day number of shots were fired at the house where. Mrs Tewks bury was. bas, fortunately none of Il em nit her.
 The killing of these parties will no doubt have the feet of still fur ther onraging the Tewk sburys, who claim to be the outraged par; e., and the news of more bloody wGk may be expected any day. In losses now foot Up to six kille l and four wounded on the Graham side, and two killed on the Tewks- burysside.
 Sheriff Mulvenon and Deputies 
 Geo. Burton, E. NJ. Tackett and s. J. Sullivan will leave for Pleas ant Valley tomorrow, again. They will be met at Payson by Deputy Sheriff Francis and a posse of five or six men, and will also be rein forced by a party from that place, making posse of some fifteen or sixteen men.
 From parties who arrived to-day from the Basin, it is learned that the killing of Tewksbury and Ja cobs, on Saturday, occurred within half mile of the residence of the former.
 The body or rather the skele' on, of the old man Blevins, has been found in the brush in Pleasant Valley. The flesh had been nearly all stripped from his bones.
 It is stated that nearly every cit izen in Pleasant Valley and the valleys in the immediate vicinity have trken one side or the other and, unless arrests are made, fur ther trouble will ensue.-Journal-

The RARY.s DILEMMA.

Hy four-year-old baby sat my lap
In the dusk of the fading day
So helpless he seemed as he nestled there,
So dependent on mother and mother-care,
That asked as kissed the golden head,
What would you do, dear, if Mamma were
dead?'
The eyes met mine with steadfast look,
That showed neither sadness nor fear; :
The lips still smiled in a careless way,
As though my death were new-found play;
Mot a tear in eye or voice as he said:
IL would live wiz Gramma il you was dead
''But Grandma is old and feeble, you know,
And not able to care for you;
You couldn't stay there" The face grew grave,
One quick scared look at my face he gave,
Tnen, still half-defant, he slowly said:
81 tould live wiv Auntie if you was dead"
''But Auntie has boys of her own, you know,
And she wouldn't want any more.
No; you couldn't live there" The brown eyes
fill;
Life looks pretty gloomy just now. But still,
With quiver of lip and chin, he said:
''TouIdnt I live wiz Uncle Tom if you was
dead?''
''Uncle Tom has no wife nor home, you know,
And man couldn't care for you"
The little breast heaved with it's weight oi
woe
Was there nowhere. then, for boy to go7
And he sobbed, as his arms round my neck he
threw:
At would want to die and go with YOU

go out

said the lady, quietly. She was making
a lace cap for her youngest child, a
sweet little girl, and poised on her
hand, it looked a dainty thing "You
know, Norah, one of the reasons why
l keep you is that you are not always
wanting to run out. l hope you are
not going to disappoint me-
''No, ma am" answered the girl,
respectfully, 81 will not, but they've
sent me word from the hospital that
little Mary is worse, and my work is
all done up"
Nonsense" answered her mistress,
shortly; Il saw her yesterday, and she
was as bright as she could be. Besides,
l am going out myself. I expect my
sister every moment, and we will not
be home until evening""
Norah's head drOoped. Her fingers
clutched her apron to still the agony
in her heart. Mrs. Weeks was getting
ready now to go.
''You must not leave the children a
moment, Norah,' she said, as she
went, 'little Arthur is quite feverish.
would not trust him with any one but
you. And I'll tell you, Norah--you
can go and see your baby the first
thing in the morning"
So she did. There was a white cloth
spread over the little cot. When she
turned it back with frantic haste, she
looked on the face of an angel!
All this happened some time ago.
Norah is still with Mrs. Weeks, still
the patient, faithful drudge, who is

When the day is over and her work
is done she goes into her little room
and closes the door.

A Wealthy Missouri Farmer Fatally ShO
by a Couple of Thieves.


by Couple of Thieves.
ST. JOSEPH, No, Aug. 19.-Samuel Gam,
one of Buchanan County's best known
and wealthiest citizens, was shot and IA
tally wounded Wednesday night at $3.50
o'clock, at his home southeast of the city
about ten miles. About s 30 Gam was
standing at the well, ten feet from the
kitchen door of his house, drawing a pail
of water, when, as he was lifting the full
bucket from the curb, a man advanced on
him from the darkness and presented a re-
VOlYer and ordered him to throw up both
hands. Gam replied: ''W hat do you want
here?7 tthe same time drawing back with
the pail of water and striking his assailant
full in the face. The unknown man, who
was masked, was almost stunned but,
pointing his revolver at Gam, fired, the
shot, which was from 28-caliber revolver,
taking effect in the right breast in front of
the shoulder, piercing the lung and lodging
nearth backbone. After the assassin had
fired, companion suddenly stepped from
the side Of the house and fired twice, one
shot striking the abdomen, penetrating
the abdomna.. cavity. The Wretches then
fed aad have not been heard from since.
The injuries are such that Gam can not re-
cover, and death Is looked for hourly. One
ball was cut out at the back, but the other
has not been located.
Within an hour after the shooting the en-
tire neighborhoOd was aroused, and men
on horseback securing the roads in all di-
rections, hunting for the desperadoes. A
regular vigilance ASSOCIATION has been Or
ganized and nothing will be left undone that
will lead to their capture. The doctors

tion while on their way home. At noon

robbed of 500 as he was returning from
the city near Gann's house, and that the
same ones sho; Mr.. Gam no one doubts.
Gam is worth over quarter of a million
